The end of an era

Most of you know that whenever Alaina comes over, one of her first things to do, is to find Oliver and hold him. I'm afraid that is about to change.
Oliver is actually Heathers cat and she is taking him to live with them.  I must admit that we're going to miss having him around, but this is going to be tough on Alaina.
Here's a few pictures of her with him from this weekend.

He's pretty long suffering.  I always have to smile at the disgusted look on his face, and the joy on hers.  I guess she'll have to go visit him at Uncle Andrew and Aunt Heathers place!

Our two sweeties!

We had both Alaina and Ruby overnight here on Friday. It's different having a baby around again, and I've been reminded again how much work it is having two around!  But it's also so much fun!

Here's Grandpa with his two girls.

Alaina is still Grandpa's sweetheart.

Look at that cute smile!  Ruby has gotten so responsive.  She coos and smiles when you talk to her.  She also has a temper when you aren't quick enough with her bottle.  :)

 Alaina loves her sister and is always trying to take care of her.  She put blankets all around her to keep her warm.

 Continuing the blanket theme, she pulled out all kinds of blankets and put them on the couch for her stuffed animals.

After I brought the girls home, I found a few stuffed animals tucked nicely into bed.
It was a fun weekend!

A day in my life...

Here it is - another new month!  I'm happy to see March arrive, we're getting closer to Spring!
Here's a few pictures from my day.

 My crock pot is a good friend.  I often use it on Sunday as we don't get out of church until noon, and it's nice to have lunch ready when we come home.  I got this going right away in the morning, before doing anything else.

 It's snowing out again this morning, but just a nice gentle snowfall.

 Oliver is in his customary position - sitting on the back of the chair, checking things out through the front window.

We're off to Sunday school and church.  Our church meets in our high school auditorium.  I enjoy my Sunday's off and being able to join with my church family! 

 After church, it's time to relax and read the Sunday paper.

 I enjoy a candle burning, on a quiet, winter afternoon.

We usually take advantage of the peace and quiet and settle back in our chairs for a short nap.  Oliver loves to settle in and nap with us.

Heather and Andrew are back from their honeymoon and came over for supper and to open gifts.  What fun!

That wraps up another day.  It was a good one!
